Guyton woman raped in her home

GUYTON - A Guyton woman was forced to go inside her home on Jan. 11, where she was raped, according to an Effingham County Sheriff's Department incident report.

The sexual assault occurred around 11:30 a.m. at the victim's home on McLaws Road, said sheriff's Capt. Mike Bohannon. The victim was walking to her car when she was forced back into her house, Bohannon said.

Bohannon said the incident appeared to be an isolated event. The woman is not being identified because she is the victim of a sex crime.

The report contained only sketchy details of the suspect. Detective John Bradley said the woman did not know the suspect. Bradley said results of a DNA test are still pending.
